The sky above is cloaked in endless dark
Ashes, once life, coat the lungs of all those in sight
What a foul stench, that of charred innocence
Calamitous
This jealousy, this rage personified in accusers
Envious eyes
Lay blame
Vilify
Every breath that leaves their lips condemns another life

So much loss

All those that witnessed the suffering
Horrid torture spawned from jealousy
A plague of those with God in their eyes

All those that witnessed the suffering
Horrid torture spawned from jealousy
A plague of those with God in their eyes

Tied atop the pyre convicted without a sense of reason
Falsely judged and purified they set them all ablaze
The ground littered with remains
The ground littered with remains
All wrongfully taken in vain
They're thought to serve the higher
But all they care for is themselves

Narcissistic prophet
Hellbent on torturous obedience
The flesh burnt from their bones
As they cried out in agony

Century brought century
This plethora of inconceivable horror
Complete families destroyed in the wake of orthodoxy
Obliteration from hate
Hate from fear
Fear from difference

All those that witnessed the suffering
Horrid torture spawned from jealousy
A plague of those with God in their eyes

All those that witnessed the suffering
Horrid torture spawned from jealousy
A plague of those with God in their eyes

They watched them burn
They watched them die
They watched them burn
They watched them die
The ground is soiled, soiled
With the death of circumstance
(They watched them burn
They watched them die
They watched them burn
They watched them die)
